Vince is right to take a more aggressive approach to getting the money from owners. No it's not fair for city taxpayers to foot the bill and even less fair for the county taxpayers to pay a part of it (land banking)Does city council get reports on the success of these attorney's in getting their money from the owners? How much was recovered last year?

I am encouraged to see someone who finally gets it. Yes tear down these eye sores, but more importantly, aggressively pursue these owners who think they get a free pass. 25 homes to be torn down in 2014 is aggresive and hopefully some money will be recouped.

25 is a great start, but I don't think that number comes close to equaling the number of occupants in the Appleyard mansions. I thought there was a study suggesting that when new projects go up, an equal number should come down.

Maybe in some cases, the property owner may just need some help. It is possible. Anyway I believe there is always the opportunity to allow those without the resources to move into "AppleYards". No pressure yhen.
